RE: TIL Why Candy Canes Were Invented
Your statement, "The first mention of candy canes in America is from 1847 when a German immigrant decorated his Christmas tree with them" was interesting to me because my family has always included candy canes in our Christmas tree decor, and we have a lot of German ancestors. Now I'm wondering if the man who seemingly started the practice in America is one of them!
Well, it was invented and spread out from Germany - so could be. The man I mentioned lived in a town in Ohio.
